One of the things that continues to shock me is how even the most ridiculous suggestion, even if it's framed as a transparently sarcastic critique of Keynesianism, is embraced by the adherents of Keynes. During the last IQ2 debate, about the Obama jobs bill, Daniel MItchell made a passing reference to the economic growth rate of the early 1950s.

Which led to Mark Zandi, who supported the bill, to remark that the Korean War was a "form of stimulus."

So apparently, if we had had a nuclear war with Red China our economy would have been been in the stratosphere.

If Keynes were right our $15 Trillion debt should equal utopia.

"..our economy would have been been in the stratosphere."

Yea, and not just our economy, but everything, including buildings, children, etc.
